I once was a kid with the other little kids

That's me as a kid with all the other little kids. The ridiculous photo of me with the balloons is from when I was in 5th grade and broke my nose. I believe this is the only photo that exists of me with my nose cast. A wonderful, shining moment in my life. Top photo: Kindergarten graduation on far right in the white dress with navy trim next to two of my besties to this day, Sam and Anne. 2nd photo: Preschool play date in the jean dress. 3rd photo: 1st day of Kindergarten in the green and blue checkered dress. 4th photo: Just being a preschool beauty. You know you are a kid when:

You can't stop obsessing over the mechanical pencil your teacher took away from you when you were play fighting with it during breakfast. You only rest assured once she promises to return it at the end of the day.

You know you are an adult when:

You forget how important/cool a mechanical pencil is to a first grader, and forget to return it to said first grader at the end of the day even though you promised.

*Mechanical pencil has been returned and teacher/student relationship is intact.

i'm kathleen quinn

I am a recent University of Wisconsin-Madison alum. I now teach in Minneapolis. I'm from a small suburb just outside of Chicago. The rundown : two parents, two older brothers, one dog. I'm the seamstress for the band; the only problem is that I have yet to learn how to sew. I appreciate a good ole preamble. In general, I can relate to blabber; sometimes it's what makes the most sense. In my spare time I like to write and take photos cuz it's fun to do bad things. What, you haven't seen the Latarian Milton video on youtube? Oh my.
